Middlebury Study Abroad in Florence, Italy!

Florence is a very popular destination with American students and students don’t always get a full language immersion, but this program requires it, which make it our Cool Program of the Week: https://www.studyabroad101.com/programs/middlebury-schools-abroad-middlebury-in-florence

Middlebury is at the Palazzo Giugni, situated in the academic heart of the old city, an area bustling with coffee shops, bookstores, cultural clubs, and academic buildings. The Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and Florence’s other main monuments are all within easy walking distance. Now a bustling city filled with piazze, cafes, and museums, the culture of Florence is ideally suited for student life.  And while Florence welcomes large numbers of international students each year, students at the School in Italy are noteworthy for their linguistic proficiency and their commitment to cultural immersion.

COOL PROGRAM OF THE WEEK:

CET Academic Programs: Harbin – Intensive Chinese Language

Chinese is the most widely used language in the world and there’s no better way to learn it than immersion.

This week’s COOL PROGRAM OF THE WEEK makes each student pledge to speak only Chinese while on the program, which is why we think it’s cool.

Long considered CET’s “gem”, the Harbin program attracts students who are up to the challenge of true immersion into an environment with few English-speaking foreigners. Students abide by a full-time language pledge and explore Harbin, a location chosen for its standard Mandarin, with Chinese roommates. The curriculum, perfect for students with research interests, includes one-on-two drill classes, small group electives and student-designed independent study classes–a student favorite.
